Dam Goats


This picture shows Alpine Ibex goats wandering across the near-vertical dam in Northern Italy without a care in the world.
The gravity-defying goats typically live in very steep and rocky terrain at heights of up to 4,600m and have no fear of falling whether climbing up or down the 160ft dam wall.
And they aren't doing it just to show off.
It is thought the goats are grazing; they are actually licking the salt off the stones.
